Default Help with anniversary gift

It is our 10th, and I have this far managed to stay within the traditional gifts guidelines. (less thinking for me)

This one is Tin.

What would a nice tin present for a wife's anniversary present?

We've done the same thing each year. You can also go with aluminum (tradional US), or diamond (modern US).

I went for some nice diamond earrings for our 10th, my wife loves them.

Knight suit. nothing says I love you like a knight suit! Or give her a can of beans and take her horseback riding for the weekend! People seem pretty impressed with the gift idea on my part but since it is the big 10 as well you should probably get some diamonds involved as well

Get a night in banff or a quick weekend getaway somewhere and put the tickets/certificate in a tin box. Screw diamonds, they are a created super inflated market. But you know your wife better than I do.

I like the idea of a romantic trip. Memories last forever, and you get something out of it too.

I hear the Congo is very hospitable. Especially to whitey.

If not that then putting something in a tin box sounds like a good idea...

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I don't read that thread much.

The truck didn't stop, must have been H&R Transport.

No consolation, but some fantastic scenery where you were ambushed.
